Suburbs

Post image

I can never get over how American suburbs look like. Every time I walk through one I wonder why they cant be accomplished more around the world. The yards, the safe feeling, and the homes. (I think Chile tried to replicate a bit) I just think it’s one of the beauties America has.

Europoors will see this and hate it because there isn’t passenger trains and they can’t walk to the grocery store

As we should. As a kid in a suburb, you're screwed if you want to go anywhere and a parent can't give you a ride. People wonder why kids don't go outside, and then own homes far away from everything and everyone.

Whereas kids in the city have so much to do! Like shopping without money, eating out without money, going to entertainment venues that cost money. I love when my little boy is accosted by homeless addicts on his walk to work!

Again, where i live that's not true at all, there are good cities and there are bad cities just like there are good suburbs and bad suburbs.

Fair enough, but my luck with American cities has been poor. We’re far too tolerant of vagrancy and addiction.
